NASHIK: Over 2,500 telephone lines that had got disconnected earlier this week due to digging work for the subway and flyover construction work at Dwarka junction, have been restored BSNL officials said.

"Shffting the cables was a gigantic as BNSL's existing duct had to be moved for the subway being constructed at Dwarka under the current road widening project of national highway 3," BSNL divisional engineer ML Devre said.

The list of affected consumers included the individual as well as the corporate clients in the area. In order to ensure that the road traffic was not affected the entire work was carried out during Monday night and early on Tuesday and Wednesday. Work was complete by Wednesday a company official said.

The areas affected include General Vaidya Nagar, Manekshaw Nagar, Patil Nagar and other pockets around Dwarka, the official said. A BSNL official further said that the entire work was estimated at around Rs 18 lakh and bills regarding the same were also raised with the NHAI. "It is the work of NHAI which has affected the ducts of the BSNL - already in place. Now because they wanted the things to be adjusted, the company has spent money from its pocket to realign the cables. We have issued a letter to NHAI demanding the compensation for the same," the official added.
